LOCAL NUMBERS

Why Does Area Code Matter?

A local phone number provides several significant benefits to a small business. Firstly, it enhances the company's presence in the local community and makes it appear more accessible to customers.

This local presence further establishes trust and credibility, as customers generally feel more comfortable dealing with businesses they perceive as local. From a practical standpoint, a local number is also more convenient and often cheaper for customers to call compared to long-distance or toll-free numbers.

Additionally, a local number serves as an effective marketing tool, reinforcing the association of your business with the local community. Lastly, having a separate business number helps maintain the privacy of your personal number, creating a clear boundary between professional and personal communications.

AMAZING FEATURES

How to Spot a Spam Call or Text

Beware of unknown senders, urgent action requests, and too-good-to-be-true offers. Check for spelling errors and unfamiliar URLs. When in doubt, don't click or reply. Always verify from official sources.

Check for Unknown, Unfamiliar Numbers

A common sign of a spam call or text message is that it comes from an unknown or unfamiliar number. Sometimes, these numbers may even appear to be from another country. If you don't recognize the number, be cautious. Don't answer calls or reply to texts from numbers you don't know, especially if they aren't leaving messages.

Beware of Too Good To Be True Offers

Spam messages often contain offers that seem too good to be true. These could be promises of free vacations, big discounts, or large monetary rewards. As a rule of thumb, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Always verify such offers from a reliable source before responding.

Look Out for Urgent Requests for Personal Information

Spam callers or texters often try to create a sense of urgency to get you to provide personal information. They might pretend to be from your bank or a government agency, claiming there's a problem with your account or that you owe money. Never provide personal information in response to an unsolicited call or text message. When in doubt, hang up and contact the entity directly using a number you trust.

for quite a while I was dropping calls and there was a lot of static. Also I go on my email and there are messages that were not on my machine and can not get them- apart from these intermitant problems I have had for about 6 or 7 years - mostly good- Better than Spectrum

Rapid response, almost unbelievably so. Caring expressed in their emails. Request for further update, as in caring how this breakdown resolved. Corrective action rapid after further update. These folks rock. Whatever they do to provide great service in a good mood is something VERY FEW organizations have a clue about.”

Switching to Voiply is saving me $110/mo. I should have done this years ago. The business landline price has gone up steadily over the years until they have discontinued the service. Had I known of all the forwarding, voicemail and other benefits of Voiply I would've switched long ago.

Voiply is great. Probably the best telephone VoIP service in the business. All phones are being forced to go Voice over IP. We were with Windstream/ Kinetic/ and whatever company they just merged with. Voiply’s cost and superior customer service kicks the mess out of our previous carrier. Check out the cost and you might just be their next customer.

I signed up for Voiply's Park Your Number service, as I no longer needed a home landline and found myself inundated with spam calls that were constantly disrupting me when I was working from home. I really wanted to keep my phone number as it I have had it for decades and there is no way I could remember all of the places that I have listed it as my main contact number, so this was a great solution to not severe that history but still provide me a break from these incessant solicitation calls... Now I am able to get email notifications when people leave messages so I can easily review them when it is convenient for me. I can also log in to my Voiply account and review a full log of calls, see which ones left or didn't leave messages. It is a joy to see the tally of calls (most of which were of no interest to me!) and to appreciate the amount of disruptions that have now been avoided. That alone is worth the very small price for the service. I only wish I had found out about this sooner. Bravo Voiply, bravo!

We have used VIOP as our only phone system for several years. The original installation and set up was easy and complete without a single problem. The service is very good and there has not been any issues. Even when our power was off. the ability to forward called to a cell phone kept the service working until power was restored. It has been excellent service. The one time we submitted a service ticket the response was prompt and resolved quickly.
